When the time comes and Trump faces the next Michael Brown-like controversy

[BoxingFan653]

Do you think he'll take a strong pro cop stance and call out the hypocrisy or will he try to play along like there really is a white irrationally racist police officer problem in this country?

 

[TheComebackKid]

Hard to say. I'm sure he'll be called racist no matter what he says tho.

There's a police incompetence problem in this country just like there's an incompetence problem at every position in this country. Difference being most other job where someone is incompetent doesn't result in someone's death.

When is the last time the media gave any republican a fair shake

Idiots are the biggest issue

Well it depends on the facts of the case...

If the left continue to make martyrs out of criminals like Mike Brown, and condemn innocent police officers, then I hope Trump takes a pro cop position .

If it's a clear bad shooting or instance of police misconduct, I hope Trump advocates a position of bringing the police officer to justice .

this is what will happen .. he already criticized a cop in some case some time ago for incompetently shooting someone .. if it's a michael brown type case he will 100% back the police unlike obama who would have backed the dead criminal no matter what the circumstances were

it's not anti police to call out a bad apple but you're definitely a scumbag if you're always defending criminals who attack/try to kill cops

Prob back when everything they said wasnt either lies/wrong or massively hypocitical ....ie the 40-50s

 

[Arkain2K]

You know who would consider Michael Brown's well-deserved fate a "controversy"? Liars and idiots who perpetuated the "hands up don't shoot" bullshit.

Trumps response will be irrational and unpresidential.

He's already addressed three instances involving acts of violence. First two cases he failed miserably. In the third an last case he initially took a hard line then backed down to lobbyists.

Beer summit

Obama didnt want to be viewed as the first black president(when in office). While a contingent of his supporters wanted him to involve the presidency into every racial issue.

It will be the end of CNN if they pull their shit again.

 

[Son of Jamin]

It will be the end of CNN if they pull their shit again.

Pretty much. Look at the ratings, FOX is dominating and MSNB is in second place, while CNN is almost missing in action:

 

[Bloodworth]

Trump will call it as it is...

If it's a bully going around resisting arrest and strong arming business owners, then he will say it's the perps fault.

If a cop acts recklessly , he would call them out as well

Many of these cases aren't conspiracy,
They just were amped up by a president making his own claim before the facts are even out.

Remember , the if I had a son comment.

 

[nhbbear]

I think he would back the police, but he will do it in a completely terse manner that will make him the focus of the issue, and likely hurt the officer, making it a liberal call to arms.
